How do I apply for asylum in the US?

In Arizona, applying for asylum in the United States is possible if you are a refugee from another country or if you have suffered persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. To apply for asylum in the US, you will need to submit an application with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and complete all the steps that will be required. First, you must submit the form, called the Form I-589, to the USCIS. The form asks for information about who you are and why you are seeking asylum in the US. Once the form is completed, you will be asked to provide evidence in support of your claim. This could include documents such as witness statements, medical records, or any other relevant evidence. Once the form is submitted and any accompanying evidence is received, a USCIS asylum officer will review your case. You may be asked to attend an interview with the asylum officer to answer any questions they have about your case. If the officer approves your application, you will be granted asylum in the US and will become eligible to apply for a work permit. In Arizona, the USCIS is located in both Phoenix and Tucson. As of October 2020, the processing times for asylum applications is between 4-6 months. To ensure that your application is processed as quickly as possible, please make sure all required documents are included and that your form is filled out correctly.
